The business companies and organizations all over the globe have realized the significance of using the computer network as their means of achieving their goals as planned. Over a number of decades, many business firms found it very difficult to tackle their business operations which actually interfered with the business industry forcing some of the business firms to gain access to the international markets in countries away from their country of origin so that they meet their desires. The main reason being that the competition in the local market is high, but what is very essential here that the business firms should understand is the issues concerning networking. The people who determine the company’s success are customers and the major concern is that how a company will acquire more customers than other related companies because a single company can become a threat to the other company.  

A company with an increased production and more customers can outweigh other business firms but the internet will now be a channel that customers will use in communication with the company. Global companies have their operations in various countries and many customers from every corner of the globe (Almor et al., 2014). This means that for the company to be able to reach its target in terms of the number of customers, the company will use the computer network to advertise whatever product it manufactures. Via the same channel, the company representatives can also communicate effectively with the customers and also selling to take the same procedure. This is what mainly differentiates global companies from local business firms operating locally.

Even at the moment there are some companies that emerged ten years ago but comparing their progress with the duration they have  been in the market, you will get to understand that there are people who have never had any information concerning the companies because even their products are locally sold. Introducing the company into computer networking at its early stages becomes advantageous whereby many people will be aware of the company and any progress people will be notified via the internet. Currently the use of networking has taken root to all parts of every country and despite the age group, people are using the internet therefore if a company is displaying its products on the internet and gives a link that customers will use than the chances of achieving productivity are high.

 Networking helps companies to identify suitable places to extend their operations. The company size and the amount of data generated will determine the network to use. There are three types of computer networks namely WAN, LAN and MAN (Rastogi, 2019). Local area network (LAN) is only suitable in small premises and it’s secure because no outside connection is allowed meaning the network users will enjoy the network. The computers using LAN aren’t limited to wire connection but the new evolution allows for wireless connection. Wide area network (WAN) allows for connection in a wider geographical location like in continents, counties, states etc as compared to MAN and LAN. Those companies and organizations operating in the international markets can use a wide area network to communicate with customers from various parts of the continent.
